[PATCH] fs/ntfs3: preserve non-DOS attribute bits in system.dos_attrib

[ZhengYuan Huang]

[BUG]
A corrupted ntfs3 image can hit a NULL function pointer call in
generic_perform_write() after toggling system.ntfs_attrib and then
overwriting system.dos_attrib on the same file.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
\#PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode
\#PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page
PGD bed5067 P4D bed5067 PUD 0 
Oops: Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:0x0
Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6.

[CAUSE]
system.ntfs_attrib updates ATTR_DATA flags via ni_new_attr_flags()
and switches i_mapping->a_ops to ntfs_aops_cmpr when
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED is set. system.dos_attrib then overwrites
ni->std_fa from a one-byte DOS attribute value, clearing the compression
bit without updating ATTR_DATA or the mapping operations.

Old buffered writes use is_compressed(ni) to choose
__generic_file_write_iter(). That leaves generic_perform_write() calling
a NULL write_begin callback from ntfs_aops_cmpr.

[FIX]
Treat system.dos_attrib as a low-byte DOS attribute update and preserve the
existing non-DOS attribute bits in ni->std_fa. This keeps compressed and
sparse state consistent with ATTR_DATA and the mapping operations while
keeping the existing DOS attribute semantics intact.
